CASIO presents two highly interesting digital piano innovations
In the digital piano bracket, CASIO offers clients three product series. The practical CDP models offer high quality basic functions for price-minded beginners, the stylish PRIVIA instruments are conceived to suit demanding clients looking for a compact model with excellent sound properties, and in the high class CELVIANOs, CASIO combines cutting edge technology with a classical look. In two of these three product series, CASIO is now introducing new models to the market. The beginner-friendly CDP series is extended by an ensemble piano, CDP-200R. In the CELVIANO-series, AP-400 completes and extends AP-200, which was introduced in spring. With CDP-200R, clients purchase an inexpensive ensemble piano with great stereo samples of piano sounds. Packed and stacked with high performance features from the high grade keyboard category and a top notch PRIVIA keyboard, multifunctional CDP-200R fulfils all requirements expected from a modern ensemble piano today. The new AHL (acoustic & highly compressed large waveform) sound chip yields clear, dynamic sounds with 48-note polyphony, equally convincing with all sounds and rhythms. In order to render the dynamics of the sounds even more realistically, a precise interpolation and better filters have been applied. The CPU now features 32 bit technology, hence allowing high class sound generation. New, improved digital converters (+6db compared to the HL sound chip) provide for enhanced dynamics and thus an even clearer and more accurate overall sound. The extended equipment with rhythm and accompaniment functions as well as a huge range of extra tones and many possibilities for processing this sound material, CDP-200R offers players extensive creative possibilities. Some of the highlights are:
The result is a thoroughly harmonic overall sound. Furthermore, AP-400 entices with its good looks. The closed back wall and the felicitous shape of the console ably interpret classical piano visuals, consistently carrying forward the demanding CELVIANO philosophy. Look and play!
